Cooper Headed to Exempt List | Denver Broncos News

Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper is reportedly headed to the NFL’s commissioner’s exempt list after two domestic incidents this summer, including a felony assault charge. Despite playing heavily in the preseason finale and remaining active in team activities during his mental health treatment, the league’s decision is expected before his upcoming court date. If placed on the list, Cooper would still be paid and able to use facilities but barred from practicing or playing — potentially sidelining him for 2-6 games and opening snaps for teammates like Jonah Elliss and Dondrea Tillman. This move underscores the league’s stance on player conduct while also highlighting the complexities of mental health in professional sports.
